Here I thunk it were summer, you would all be out camping......driving your rigs.....but NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

You're all arguing over a blinken test or some such thing......

like the 10 best/worst truck article I saw earlier today.....the worst trucks, all it said was copious repairs.......um........what kind of copious repairs for the twuck model year etc please and thank you! useless piece of garbage that article was! Probably like this test article etc.......

I'll stick with chebbies.......If you do not like then, go buy a Frod or Dogde,,,,,they might be better at some things than my chebbies.....but worst in other items......yep, that is my opinion, smells like the rear hole too!

Back to regularly scheduled debate!

I was just thinking how it's been a while since the HP / torque debate has surfaced on this forum. Dodge should have sent a Hellcat to the competition instead of a gutless Ram.;)

My Son’s friend just bought a Charger SRT HellCat. That was the fastest thing I have ever ridden in. 707hp burning rubber thru 5 gears was insane.

I do think the AISIN would have done better. :B

The performance deficit the RAM suffers from comes from the fact that it has 385hp with 3.42s. The higher HP the others make (440+) combined with their slightly shorter gears win races.

The Chevy is a bit of a bargain too!

Did someone mention Betty White in this thread? What in the hell brand of truck is she driving? And what does she know anyway, she's a washed up hag? There are better Betty's in this world, Crocker and Rubble come to mind.

Taking cheap shots at a 96 year old woman? Real classy! :R

Which is exactly what you need to do..

I completely agree with this. Increased safety technology is what will convince me to upgrade from my 2012. I’m not there yet, but at least thinking about it.

Every one ton SRW seems pretty good. If I were in the market, which I'm not, but if I was...seat time would be the deciding factor.

I'm at the age, where comfort is pretty well the number one criteria, given all the aches, pains, creaks, etc...I have.

If there's not enough leg room, if my butt is uneasy, if my shoulders are hitting inside pillars...the it's a no go.

Yet you still do time after time....

I know it must be hard to hear that something you own is not perfect or the best of the best, and the thought of something you own is put in the same class as us common folk must be horrifying.

"Maybe I need to get rid of the Ford and get a Ram."

If the 2020's are good looking maybe we can get a two-fer. :B

UH I did own a FULLY built DDT trans that my Son has now so I know what I am talking about. But hey you need to tune everything to get it the way yo want. I have Zero reason to do so.

That is not true. I probably would not tune the shifting on an Allison. The factory shift strategy is pretty spot on. Although the 6R140 is a stout trans, I would probably still tune its shift strategy to my liking. What can I say, I liked things tuned to my preferences and not generic to everyone else.

Look, we all know that you like to think that whatever you have is the best thing in the world and it has no flaws. Sorry to tel you this but the Aisin has its flaws just like the Cummins we both drive.

It is kind of ironic the PUTC and TFL both say the same things I have been saying about the Aisin in this forum. No need to bury your head in the sand and pretend it does not have any issues. It is just a slow shifting trans that tends to put you in the wrong gear for the situation at times. It is what it is.

I tried for a long time to not respond to your posts, now I remember why.
